With election day 17 days off, the campaign moved into a period of intense speech making which brought these developments: ' Gov. John W.

A Joint communique summing Up the 10-day meeting was issued this morning. It said the two lead ers made "important progress" toward settling the Polish dispute, reached an agreement on remain ing points in the Bulgarian armis tice terms and that their govern ments have decided' to pursue a joint policy in Yugoslavia. Mili tary plans for the war also were reviewed. : Agreements at the conference were said to have the full ap proval of the United States gov ernment, represented by Ambas sador W. Averell Harriman. Moscow's morning press and radio gave smash display to the Prime Minister's departure and Stalin seeing him off at the Mos cow airport. The papers printed an eight-column front page photo graph.

Pearl Harbor Inquiry In 'Top Secret' Class WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (") Announcement that a completed "secret" report on the navy's in vestigation of the Pearl Harbor attack is being reviewed prior to any publication today brought a protest from Rear Admiral Hus band E. Kimmel's lawyer that the procedure is "a specious pretext" to withhold the . findings until after the presidential election. Counsel for Kimmel, jivho com manded navy, forces in Hawaii when the Japanese struck there, stated: "He (Kimmel) is entitled to hear the verdict of the court promptly." Navy Secretary Forrestal yes terday turned the report over to "Admiral Ernest J. King, navy commander In chief, for a deter mination of Its effects on military security. "He Is entitled to hear the ver dict ofthe court promptly." Sublect of much political de bate, Including assertions by Rep. Mans (R-Minn) that it was being withheld for political reasons, the report was delivered to Forrest yesterday, labeled In part as "top secret" highest naval security classification. Forrestal Immediately notified the court of inquiry which pre pared the report that he would ask Kincf to determine how much of Its findings might endanger national security if disclosed. Pearl Harbor Ships Hit Japs By SPENCER DAVIS ABOARD VICE ADMIRAL KINKAID'S COMMAND SHIP OFF LEYTE, Oct. 20 (Delayed) M) Proud old battleships came back from their Pearl Harbor graves to lead the powerful units of the United States navy In the. blistering pre-landing bombard ment of eastern Leyte island In the central Philippines. . , For three days, big battlewag ons which once were mistresses of the sea showed they are still dowager queens. Their 14 and 16 Inch rifles, supported by cruisers and destroyers, poured 800 tons of exploding steel upon enemy positions from Taclqban to Abuy og, some 34 'miles to the south. Perhaps the proudest ship of all was the West Virginia. Left a burning, tangled wreck at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, she was re floated and rebuilt Into a modern fighting machine. She fired her first great salvoes of the war In the pre-bombardment off Leyte. Her vengeance was magnificent to behold. Further to the south another navy veteran, the California, once flagship of the fleet, loosed her big guns on Catmon hill, trouble point for the southern attack force. The California, too, was gravely damaged at Pearl Har bor. Other unidentified battle ships which were severely dam aged at Pearl Harbor also parti cipated In the bombardment.

The commander, Colonel Wilck, gave up 11 days after he had re jected Lt. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges' ultimatum and forced a showdown battle through the streets of the ruined city. The for mal surrender came at 12:06 p. m. It brought to 1,500 the number of Germans captured in the Aachen pocket.

S. sixth army and central Pa cific units to the invasion. A communique today acknowledged a torpedo hit on one vessel of undesignated size. The ground forces, under immediate command of Lt. Gen. Walter Krueger, apparently encountered their most tenacious opposition just below Cancabato bay at Palo. There Fred Hampson, Associated Press war correspondent, saw four of the landing ships and several smaller cratt blown up by Nipponese shore guns and mortars. For several hours it was touch and go with the Yanks Jumping hip-deep into the waters and sloshing ashore through a hall of mi chincgun bullets while shells of the foe sent up gevsers of water. "Our ground forces are consolidating their beachhead positions and driving inland on all sectors," read todav's communique. "Food and supplies have been landed on schedule against light opposition. Our ground casualties in the preliminary operation have been ex ceedingly light," the communique said. MacArthur, whose losing fjglit in 1042 was waged with a coura geous but inadequately supplied garrison, deprived in the end of all Jir and naval cover, brought back to the Philippines the greatest mtw of men. planes, warships and tanks ever assembled In the Pacific. Murlm Spencer. Associated Press war correspondent, said the 6O0 ship convoy carried at least as many as, and perhaps more than, tha number of men landed on D day in Normandy. 250,000 Men Estimated As U. S. Force (Inasmuch as Prime Minister Winston Churchill has disclosed that nearly 250,000 men landed In France the first day, such a siz able force for the Philippines operation might well suggest that even greater operations, with more landings on other Islands, are lnihe offing against the estimated 225,000 Japanese defending the Philip pines.) Tokyo radio, after considerable silence, came through with claims that the Japanese on Leyte were "cutting deep into enemy landing points" but In the same breath admitted the Yanks were "heading toward Tacloban." The Japanese military waited until today before acknowledging the Leyte landings in a communique. Presumably referring to the vessel MacArthur said had been hit by aerial tor pedo, Tokyo claimed the sinking of one transport.

By WES GALLAGHER Associated Press Correspondent "WITH THE U. S. 35TH INFAN TRY DIVISION, In France "I'll go. I have three kids at home myself," the sergeant said. There was a murmcr among the enlisted men and nine others stepped forward as volunteers. Theirs was as dangerous and unusual a mission as most in this war and beyond the regular call of duty. They were going on a "baby patrol" to rescue 81 French children trapped In a chateau In no-man's land. A civil affairs officer, Capt. George L. Schneider, former Brooklyn lawyer, had received word from the French that near the town of Hans in a chateau , there were 81 children, aged two j to six, who had been sent by their parents irom nancy to tne cna teau as a place of safety. But the path of war headed right for the children. To reach the chateau the group had to travel over a thousand yards of marshy ground under German observation and fire. It was a damp, cold night when the "baby patrol" reached the battle area about 9 p.m. Each man un- derstood he would have to carry I two babies and guide the others. If attacked, he would be abso lutely helpless. Creeping silently forward the patrol reached the chateau with out being fired on. They found that only two of ' IV. .I.IM..I. ....... .v.. of four, and that most of them were without shoes, half clothed and badly frightened, as were the few nurses. Each man placed a baby under each arm and grouped several others who could toddle around him, and started back through the night The moved about 40 yards apart and had to stop for rest frequently so that the children could keep up with them. The .Germans spotted the party and cut loose with artillery and mortars. Schneider and his strange pa trol, each man with his arms full of children, could do nothing but squat down for a moment and then move slowly on. . It was a long thousand yards. The men had to hand the children over a small creek one by one before, reaching the truck that rushed them to Nancy. Despite the wet, cold ground and their lack of shoes, to say nothing of their fright at being with strange men and at the bursting artillery shells, not one of the children so much as cried. By some miracle not one child nor one volunteer was hurt. Today the captain and ten en listed men were awarded the ' bronze star but only five were on hand to receive lt. (Twenty words censored).
